Marion County Lake Fishing Report -
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
---|---|---|---|
Channel Catfish | Shad sides or stink bait on windy shorelines | ||
Crappie | 20/day creel limit Jigs in the brushpiles and along dropoffs. Heated dock action continues to be sporadic. | ||
Bass | 13 inch to 18 inch slot limit 5 fish per day creel limit. Please harvest largemouth bass under 13 inches to improve effectiveness of this slot limit! Look for bass to be moving shallow with the warmer water temperatures. Larger, slow moving baits are good while water temps are still below the upper 40's and low 50's. | ||
Saugeye | Late winter saugeye are usually found along rocky areas in 5-7 feet of water where they can be caught on jigs, flukes, or jerk baits. | ||
Bluegill | A few bluegill were caught during the warmer days in shallow areas with southern exposure. | ||
White Bass & Wipers | Few reports this week | ||
